Question

. Describe a process you would use to create the perpendicular bisector to a segment AB using
only an unmarked straightedge and an unmarked compass.


WILL MARK BRAINIEST!!!

Answer 1

The perpendicular bisector on a line segment AB is in the attached image.

Given:

• Segment AB

To Construct:

• The perpendicular bisector to segment AB.

Solution:

A segment is a line with two ends with a specific length.

A perpendicular bisector is a line intersecting the other line segment into two equal lengtsh at an angle of 90 degrees.

Steps of construction:

• With help of unmarked straightedge draw segment,AB.
• Open the compass more than half of the length of the AB segment and from point A, draw an arc above and below AB.
• Now, with that same compass from B draw arcs cutting the previous arcs made above and below the AB label them C and D.
• Draw a straight line from C to D which will be the perpendiular bisector of segemnt AB.

The perpendicular bisector to a segment AB is in the image attached.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a perpendicular bisector, you need a compass, a straightedge, and a pencil. As well as the line segment AB drew down.

1> You start by opening the compass and stretching it to a width greater than half the length of AB.

2> Then you simply place one point of the compass on the line segments A. From here, you move the compass and draw arcs above and below the line AB.

3> Without moving the compass measure, remove it from point A and place it onto point B. You basically repeat step 2 by drawing arcs above and below the line again.

4> If you've done it right, the arcs should be in the middle, X and Y, and using a straightedge/ruler you draw a line that goes vertically through where they connect.

and that should be your perpendicular bisector using segment AB.
